First Generation
A William Bassett was apparently a member of Rev. John Robinson's congregation in Leiden. According to Leiden records, he was first married (likely in England) to Cecily Light, then was bethrothed at Leiden in Mar 1611 to Mary Butler (who soon after, before the marriage could take place) then was married Leiden 12 Aug 1611 to Margaret Oldham. Whether or not he is identical to the William Bassett with wife Elizabeth who emigrated to New Plimoth Colony aboard the Fortune is unknown.
The William Bassett of Plymouth had a wife named Elizabeth. Some have suggested she was the Elizabeth Neal of Scrooby (where Elder William Brewster was from) who married at Leiden 27 Dec 1611 William Buckram. It has been said William and Elizabeth were originally on either the Mayflower or Speedwell in 1620, but when it was determend the Speedwell was unfit to make to passage to the New World, the Bassetts were among those who were left behing. The couple did emigrate to the new colony in 1621 aboard the Fortune.
Robert Charles Anderson, in his The Pilgrim Migration: Immigrants to Plymouth Colony 1620-1633 (New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, 2004) pp. 48-52 casts doubt upon both identifications (the William of Leiden being the William of Plymouth as well as Elizabeth being the widow of William Buckram) primarily due to the fact William and Elizabeth had no children recorded in the 1623 Plymouth Land Division.

DNA Results R1b-FT72161
Previous testing
FTDNA's Bassett Family DNA y-chromosome Study Subgroup: Bassett of Plymouth have a number of individuals who have Y-DNA tested. Two of the individual have done Big Y testing with one falling under R-U106>>Z381>>Z9>>Z8>BY18846>BY18848>S20422>BY87384>FT72161 with the second one under a subclade of FT72161>BY147230.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing is needed to confirm the prediction (above) as well as potentially further refine the haplogroup.
